Stantons Farm is based in Black Notley, a small civil parish in the heart of the Essex countryside, approximately 1.5 miles south of Braintree. The farm can trace its origins back to the 12th century and is originally thought to have comprised of 250 acres and farmed both livestock and arable throughout its history.
Grab some peace and quiet while the kids run wild on our farm-themed play equipment. We offer two dedicated, farm-themed play spaces on the farm: an adventure playground located within the party area (available for general use, not just parties), and a smaller play space designed especially for younger children.
Picnic areas are available in both play zones, along with convenient hand-washing stations, making it easy for families to relax and enjoy their time together.
A selection of hot and cold food, drinks and snacks are available to purchase from our Snack Shack.
We also offer vegan, vegetarian and dairy free options.
A full up-to-date allergen menu is available on site.
We have a range of toys and products some of which are made from the fleece of our very own alpacas; including socks, scarves and plush alpaca teddies.
Let the kids choose what they want with pocket money priced toys, all farm orientated to remember your visit with us.
A scenic outdoor party space on the farm, featuring open skies, rustic charm, and a relaxed country atmosphere—perfect for hosting memorable gatherings.
The area includes a large climbing frame for kids, picnic seating, animal holding stalls for farm experiences, and convenient toilet and hand-washing facilities, making it an ideal venue for birthday celebrations and family events.
